Thermodynamic Properties of Caffeine in Ethylene Glycol at High Pressures and High Temperatures
(American Chemical Society, 2022)
Ethylene glycol is recognized as a heat transfer fluid. To improve its performance, caffeine is added to pure ethylene glycol. The experimental measurements of densities at pressures of up to 60 MPa and in the range of ...
Synthesis of novel pyridinium based compounds and their possible application in dye-sensitized solar cells
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
Five novel D-π-A structured pyridinium based compounds, bearing different electron-donating units were synthesized, minutely characterized, and their solvatochromic and electronic properties were investigated. Subsequently, ...
The influence of coating with aminopropyl triethoxysilane and CuO/Cu2O nanoparticles on antimicrobial activity of cotton fabrics under dark conditions
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2020)
A novel impregnation process for the fabrication of cotton nanocomposite with strong antimicrobial activity against antibiotics-resistant bacteria and yeast was developed. The impregnation process includes the sol-gel ...
Characterization of potential probiotic strain, L. reuteri B2, and its microencapsulation using alginate-based biopolymers
(International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2021)
In this study, Lactobacillus reuteri B2 was isolated from the feces of C57BL/6 mice and assessed on probiotic activity. L. reuteri B2 was identified by 16S rDNA sequencing, which the cell viability in acidic conditions at ...
Experimental and numerical research on the failure of railway vehicles coupling links
(Engineering Failure Analysis, 2021)
Two modes of failure are analysed for coupling links, the mechanical connections that transmit traction forces between vehicles along the length of a train. Coupling links are designed to withstand the dynamic loads in ...
Recommendations for replacing PET on packaging, fiber, and film materials with biobased counterparts
(Green Chemistry, 2021)
This review sheds light on urgent questions that arise from the need to replace a polymer resin,-poly(ethylene terephthalate), which represents 7.7% market-share in the global plastic demand (Plastics-the Facts 2019), by ...
The chitosan-based bioactive composite coating on titanium
(Elsevier B.V., 2021)
This paper describes a promising electrophoretic deposition (EPD) approach for developing composite coatings based on chitosan with the additional components of hydroxyapatite, graphene, and gentamicin on titanium substrate. ...
Old Plant, New Possibilities: Wild Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L., Ericaceae) in Topical Skin Preparation
(Antioxidants, 2021)
Bilberry represents a valuable source of antioxidant substances responsible for its application for the treatment of different conditions (such as inflammation, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and different ...
Chitosan Nanoparticles Functionalized Viscose Fabrics as Potentially Durable Antibacterial Medical Textiles
(Materials, 2021)
This research proposed two pretreatments of viscose fabrics: oxidation with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO) and coating with TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCN), to introduce functional groups ...
The effect of the ultrasound agitation and source of ceria particles on the morphology and structure of the Zn-Co-CeO2 composite coatings
(Journal of Materials Research and Technology-JMR&T, 2021)
The goal of this research was to develop and analyse novel Zn-Co-CeO2 protective coatings on steel. Two different sources of ceria (CeO2) particles were employed: commercial powder and synthesized stable colloidal ...
